Sudanese army shells Khartoum

Fighting in the Sudanese capital escalates as the army launches an offensive against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The army has deployed tanks and says it is shelling the city from all sides with heavy artillery.

Also on the programme: Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro is questioned over his role in anti-government riots in January; andNapoli are on the verge of becoming champions of Italy’s premier football league, ending three decades of dominance by the country’s richer north.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are journalist and author Rachel Shabi and Karabekir Akkoyunlu, a lecturer in politics and Middle East studies at London University's School of Oriental and African Studies.
